Le Poisson, Le Poisson (Hibiscus Halibut, Mango Kiwi Salsa)

This post in also available as an article in the 7/25/2012 Williamsport Sun-Gazette.

As a gift from their honeymoon, our friends Laura and Geoff gave us a delightful box of unusual spices from Ambrosia, a spice and chocolate shop on Nantucket. As Laura rightly knows, owning a spice and chocolate shop ranks even higher on my wish list than opening my own artisanal radicchio farm, so this was an excellent choice. Laura has set forth the challenge that I should devise a recipe featuring each spice, and this month's feature is hibiscus.

Kapow!

Short and Sweet (Strawberry Kiwi Salad)

I wanted something light and fresh for dinner tonight and, as it so happens, we had plenty of strawberries and kiwi fruit leftover after a weekend visit from our darling nephews. I feel a little guilty calling this a recipe, as a list of ingredients could just about cover it, really. We'll just file this one under "lazy" and celebrate that it's something you can throw together at a moment's notice.

Does it help if it's extra tasty?
